Question

When waves travel through water, why do the moving water particles continue to return to their starting position?

Answer 1

Explanation;

A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point to another. Wave involves transmission of energy from one point to another through a materials medium.

Waves may require or may nor require a material medium for transmission. Those wave that do not require material medium for transmission are electromagnetic waves while those that require material medium are called mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves transfers energy through the vibration of particles of the medium through which the wave travels, whileelectromagnetic waves transfer energy through the vibration of electric or magnetic fields.

Waves transfers energy from one point to another without moving matter.

In a wave phenomenon, energy can move from one location to another, yet the particles of matter in the medium return to their fixed position. A wave transports its energy without transporting matter. Waves are seen to move through an ocean or lake; yet the water always returns to its rest position.
